While doing historical research, Elizabeth Bettina saw a vintage snapshot that helped her uncover a secret—that her family's ancestral village in Campagna, Italy, served as a safe haven for Jews during the Holocaust. In this history—which includes more than 100 black and white photographs—Bettina tells the story of Giovanni Palatucci, an official whose security clearance enabled him relocate hundreds of Jews to local internment camps that protected them for the duration of the war, an action that would cost him everything. Traveling to the village, Bettina also found that thousands of other locals assisted him, and interviewed many of the survivors in order to piece together this forgotten chapter in Holocaust history.
